The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 1934: Chapter 1934: Deaths in Succession

Pikang Palace Master’s face was very grim.

Facing the angry questioning from the Boundaryless Spirit Mountain controllers, Pikang Palace Master didn’t know how to explain. The transmission treasure was brought out by the Western Region Main Hall. These transmission treasures were all refined by controllers with extremely high Void Accomplishment. Logically speaking, it should be absolutely impossible for problems to arise.

But if the transmission treasure itself had no problem, why did a being like Qiao Ren die inside the Devouring Sky Clan Fortress? Just like the Boundaryless Spirit Mountain controller said, even if the Devouring Sky Clan Marshal took action personally, it would be difficult to kill Qiao Ren in one hit. As long as Qiao Ren was given a little time, he should have been able to activate the transmission treasure and leave the fortress.

The controllers had not yet realized the Devouring Sky Clan creatures inside the fortress had used the Time-Space Chains. Everyone knows the Devouring Sky Clan’s Time-Space Chains, but such things wouldn’t be used easily, would they?

It’s like the Reincarnation Path of Hongjun Heavenly Palace, a Treasure of Palace, which surely wouldn’t be casually taken out of the Heavenly Palace for use outside.

”The transmission treasure should not have any issues. As for what Qiao Ren encountered, we still need further verification.” Pikang Palace Master could only say this.

He paused for a moment and continued, ”Three Daoists, please don’t be angry. If the transmission treasure caused Qiao Ren’s demise, my Hongjun Heavenly Palace is willing to compensate Boundaryless Spirit Mountain for the loss.”

”Hmph! Compensate for the loss? Pikang Palace Master, you speak so lightly. A life like Qiao Ren’s in the All Things Realm, how many resources do you think he is worth?” A controller from Boundaryless Spirit Mountain said coldly.

”This...” Pikang frowned.

...

Inside the Devouring Sky Clan Fortress.

”Satisfying!”

”This Divine Soul, this Physical Body... truly delicious. Comparable to the controllers among the Chaos Creatures, no less.”

”Tsk, tsk, if we could eat a few more, that would truly be satisfying. This kind of delicacy, if we could eat dozens, we might even breakthrough!”

The three Golden Body All-Things Realm Devouring Sky Clan creatures who had just killed Qiao Ren shared Qiao Ren.

”Continue!”

”Yes, continue! This time among the Chaos Ants entering our fortress, there’s also one named Guan Lianshan, one of the strongest All Things Realm in the Chaos Creature. Also, there’s one called Jing Yan, though I hadn’t heard of him before, he seems quite extraordinary. Find them, kill them, eat them!”

The three Golden Body All-Things Realm Devouring Sky Clan creatures quickly left, hunting down other Chaos Creatures who entered the fortress.

Two days later!

”Damn it! Why... why has my transmission treasure suddenly failed?” An anxious Zhuang Dongze from Lunyin Country was facing an attack from two Golden Body All-Things Realm Devouring Sky Clan creatures.

One of them was a participant in the battle to kill Qiao Ren two days ago. And he was also the one temporarily wielding the Time-Space Chains among the Golden Body All-Things Realm Devouring Sky Clan.

Just thirty minutes before, a Golden Body All-Things Realm Devouring Sky Clan creature had discovered Zhuang Dongze. Zhuang Dongze’s strength couldn’t directly combat the Golden Body All-Things Realm Devouring Sky Clan, so he fought while fleeing. And just now, another Golden Body All-Things Realm Devouring Sky Clan creature arrived. Facing two Golden Body All-Things Realm Devouring Sky Clan creatures, Zhuang Dongze had no mind left for fighting back. He wanted to speed up and leave but found his speed couldn’t increase at all. Then he immediately activated the transmission treasure, unexpectedly even the transmission treasure failed.

”Hahaha!”

”Still want to run?”

”Among you guys, even Qiao Ren has already been eaten. Now, it’s your turn!” The two Golden Body All-Things Realm Devouring Sky Clan creatures fiercely attacked Zhuang Dongze.

Zhuang Dongze struggled for a third of a cup of tea time, then fell!

The name of Zhuang Dongze turned from white to black on the light screen outside the fortress wall.

In two days, first Qiao Ren fell, then Zhuang Dongze fell. Though Zhuang Dongze was a second-tier All-Things Realm powerhouse, in the entire Endless Chaos, an All Things Realm being is extremely rare.

The controllers of Lunyin Country were enraged.

But the controllers gradually realized one thing. If Qiao Ren fell inside the fortress due to the transmission treasure having issues itself, then did Zhuang Dongze’s transmission treasure also have issues?

The possibility of such a coincidence is almost nonexistent.

So, what exactly went wrong?

”Could it be... within this fortress, there’s a presence of the Devouring Sky Clan’s Time-Space Chains?” An elder controller broke the silence and slowly spoke.

The expressions of the other controllers drastically changed.

Inside the fortress.

”Phew!” Jing Yan put away the Chaos-Level weapon treasure Ice Flame Sword.

He had just defeated a group of Devouring Sky Clan creatures pursuing him.

”These Devouring Sky Clan are becoming more and more crazed, seemingly impossible to kill them all.” Jing Yan shook his head.

”Hmm?” Jing Yan swept his Divine Thought over his Task Token, and then his gaze suddenly intensified.

”Qiao Ren... Zhuang Dongze, what happened to them?” Jing Yan now realized Qiao Ren had died.

He hadn’t checked his Task Token in the past few days. Thus, only now after checking his Identity Token did he discover Qiao Ren’s name had turned black. Zhuang Dongze’s name also turned black.

”Something’s wrong! Something’s wrong! There’s definitely an issue!” Jing Yan took a breath, scanning around with sharp eyes.

Another three days passed!

On this day, a member of the Third Tier from Wansheng Valley fell.

With Chaos Creatures continually falling inside the fortress, those remaining inside started to realize one thing. They understood that if they continued staying inside the fortress, the next to die might be them. Though reasoning behind Qiao Ren and others failing to transmit out of the fortress remained unclear, three people had fallen inside the fortress in just one week, which was evidently abnormal.

Of the fifteen beings that entered the Devouring Sky Clan Fortress, twelve remained before Qiao Ren’s fall. In the following days, Qiao Ren, Zhuang Dongze, and three others fell consecutively, leaving nine.

Among these nine, two triggered their transmission treasures to leave the Devouring Sky Clan Fortress right after a Wansheng Valley member fell. The last remaining seven mostly considered triggering the transmission to leave the Devouring Sky Clan Fortress immediately.

Jing Yan also frequently communicated with Wang Quan using his Hongjun Heavenly Palace Identity Token.

On the day after the Wansheng Valley member fell, Wang Quan informed Jing Yan he had already gathered with two others. All three were together, at least ensuring some safety. Wang Quan also advised Jing Yan to find a way to reach them if possible. Everyone was in the core area of the fortress’s perimeter, making it much easier than when initially entering the fortress.

Another day passed, Wang Quan informed Jing Yan the seven remaining inside Devouring Sky Clan Fortress had now gathered into five groups, including Shelun Country’s Guan Lianshan. In other words, aside from Jing Yan, only Luoshui Divine Palace’s Jiao Baiding hadn’t temporarily found others yet.
